    file sharing won't tick!

    Briefly (but probably overkill for you), (1) Turn all computer firewalls off, and turn your router firewall on. (2) Enable Window Sharing and Personal File Sharing on your Macs; (b) share a folder on you PC--preferably "My Documents;" and use all the usual PC techniques for getting a network...

    Cleaning supplies?

    Damp, with water, soft lint-free cloth, iKlear/iClean (not necessarily both--take your pick) along with their micro-fibre cloths, and a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (for really grease/oil soiled surfaces--e.g., keyboard surfaces). Never use very much water in areas where it might seep internally and...

    FAT32 drive/OS X/cant copy sessions off drive

    You can't copy files of 4 GB or more to or from a FAT 32 drive. So, I don't think you can clone them either since cloning is just copying. Before doing anything else to the drive, I would get it to a data recovery expert.

    How much does RAM actually help?

    I would go 1 GB given your activities. However, I can't support the idea, for example, of "go with as much as you can afford" unless purchasing more RAM, even if not needed, does not preclude you from purchasing something else you want. More RAM adds absolutely zero if you don't need it.

    tiger upgrade broke firefox!

    I would do some basic maintenance/troubleshooting. Here is a set of maintenance/troubleshooting tasks you might want to perform: 1. Empty the trash, and clear all browser caches; 2. Repair disk and repair permissions; 3. Run the 3 periodic maintenance (cron) scripts; 4. Use a program, such...

    No Software Installs Work

    Are you talking about Panther or Tiger? Panther has been out for eons. Are you just venting? Or, do you have something we might help with?

    Dont Install Tiger ifm you Use Epson Products

    I have an Epson 780 connected to a networked PC. I am using an Epson driver from the ESP folder--that I see when I add the printer. I have not tried using the Epson when connected to my iBook.

    G3 PowerMac won't boot to FW

    See question 10. And, apparently your G3 does not support firewire target-disk mode. I would start up with your install CD and see if you can clone the system on the external to your G3 internal. Incidentally, it dawns on me that I may be helping you to violate your software ageement with Apple...

    Hard Disk Sleeping in Tiger

    I saw your thread when first posted. I have done exactly the same things you have and do not have the problem. I guess I'd start with trying an extreme and then moving the other direction a step at a time to see where the problem develops. That is, I would start by going to Energy Saver and set...

    No DVD drive / Install Tiger over network?

    Why not just intall Tiger on the external firewire and then clone it to the desktop. Alternatively, you could clone your pBook internal to the firewire external, install Tiger with an archive and install/preserve user and network settings, and then clone to the desktop. The Tiger disk still will...

    Internet connections, wireless

    The problems noted here are not exactly yours, but check the thread out. You might want to try some of the fixes anyway.

    can't boot into target / slave mode

    What you want to do will work if you use MacDrive (mediafour.com), or the equivalent, on your PC.

    Kernel Panics

    I would download the 10.3.9 combo update and reinstall 10.3.9--even if you used the combo in the first place. If doing so doesn't work, then there are only 2 things to do (1) basic maintenance/troubleshooting and (2) reinstallation of your earlier software or Tiger. If you want to do some basic...

    OS 10.4 fails to recognize the HFS+ partition on my firewire/USB hard drive

    I think you are destined to have problems with an NTSF and Mac extended partition on a single drive (can't find my source though). I always partition Mac extended and then use MacDrive (mediafour.com), or the equivalent, on my PCs. But, of course, you could always partition it FAT 32 if you are...

    New to Mac and Tiger and internet connection problem

    You should be able to follow the steps from the Tiger DVD. You might want to do a custom clean install leaving off especially the foreign lanuguage support. There have been enough printer problems with Tiger that I suggest that you install all the printer drivers. You can delete those you don't...

    can't boot into target / slave mode

    I know that you want to resolve your problem, but temporarily you could use a small network.

    Upgraded to OSX Tiger! How can I connect automatically to our wireless network?

    On the Airport tab, I select automatic rather than my network. Also, check this thread out.
